Nathan Raphael Pelae Cardoso (born 13 May 1995), simply known as Nathan, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Major League Soccer (MLS) club Seattle Sounders FC.

He played for the youth and senior teams of SE Palmeiras in Brazil's top flight and was later loaned to various clubs in Brazil and Switzerland. Nathan was transferred to FC Zürich in the Swiss Super League in 2019 and played for two years there. He joined MLS club San Jose Earthquakes in 2021.[1]

Nathan played in 46 matches for San Jose during the 2021 and 2022 seasons with limited availability due to injuries. He underwent surgery after tearing his left knee's meniscus in February 2022 and played 26 matches during the regular season. Nathan was unable to play during the 2023 season after he tore his right anterior cruciate ligament tear during preseason.[2] He was signed by Seattle Sounders FC in January 2024.[3]
